Digital camera reviews of Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: A JOY TO USE
Summary: 5 Stars
On my D90 this lens is fast, sharp and accurate. What else could you ask for? And for this price. It's simply a joy to own and use.Digital camera Review: A Must Have Lens!
Summary: 5 Stars
This lens was recommended to me by another photographer. I must say for it's value it is a wonderful lens. It takes very nice portraits and works wonders in natural lighting. I would say this is a must have for all photographers. It is a basic and versatile lens and the price can't be beat!Digital camera Review: A No-Brainer!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're looking for a standard lens, and debating between the 1.8 & 1.4 - forget about it; you'll rarely / if ever leverage the (significant) incremental investment for the 1.4 in terms of flexibility and quality.
Shooting in full manual is a snap, and the photos turn out excellent!
I wish someone had posted this sort of review to help me make a simple & safe decision.
Digital camera Review: A gem inside a box of skulls.
Summary: 5 Stars
Well for starters I shoot with the d60.
The 1.8d lense is amazing. Almost instantly the quality of my pictures started to rise. Its pretty much a must have, the price is right, I don't know anywhere else you can get a solid, fast build for only 100$...
The depth of field is amazing, and I never really had too much control before on the kit lense.
If your into portraits or just trying to find out what depth of field is all about get the 1.8d. You'll be happy you did.
As for the cons, there is no "auto" focusing motor in the 1.8d.
What does this mean? Well for bodies like the d60 (which dont have a built in auto focus motor) you cant autofocus the lense.
It is an older lense so the camera itself has to have a built in motor for auto-focusing such as the d300s. Personally there are many times I wish I had the autofocus but I also learned how to composition my shots/use the focus better while in manual mode.
It is also A PRIME LENSE, what does this mean?
Well you cant zoom in or out like you can with some lenses (18-55) (55-200) because the size is only 50mm you have to set up your shots by going back a little bit or going forward. This may be stressful to some or great practice for others.
So this is my review I hope it helps your decision on buying the 1.8d. Just to help some of you who may be confused when you buy the lense, you have to set the fstop to f22 on the lense and then after you connect it to the camera set the camera options to 1.8d.
Digital camera Review: A good Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I asked one of my friend which is a pro.. which lens is good for beginner which I can use for wedding photography and portrait? He advised me to get 50mm if possible get the f/1.4... but due to restricted budget I just bought the 50mm f/1.8 which is I admired very much... very fast and need less light...
Therefore I recommend this lens for beginner... very cheap but best performances... do not underestimate it...
